Our Mission

The LSIE fosters information exchange among the UT System libraries in order to:

  1. support staff on how to best meet users' online needs, and to
  2. envision new initiatives that mutually benefit UT System students, faculty and staff.

Any UT library staff member can be part of the LSIE discussions, e-mail list, and attend the videoconferences. A formal membership list is not maintained.

LSIE E-Mail List

All members of the old OFFCAMP e-mail list will be migrated to the new LSIE e-mail list.
